@Ulysees E. McGill talking about you, not the pic, btw

I second this. Did this all the time as a kid. Not sure how well it taught but path but it taught me to unload and uncoil at just the right time, keeping my hands in front and letting the bat head develop momentum.

@volbeast33 how old of a kid we talking about? Swinging level isn’t such a bad thing to start out with if he’s like 7-9, you can teach launch angle and all that other stuff later when they have the strength to drive a ball in the gap.

This guy talks about proper posture driving the bat path. I too see kids stand up straight up rather than “butt out, chest forward” never thought about that creating the right path but he’s right. Really seems like if he’s got that posture and he learns to bend that back leg it will naturally take the bat along the right path.

He is 11…. I’m at work so I will check out the video a a little later when I’m able…..He is already a decent hitter…. Bats third on his travel ball team and is the best hitter on his little league team…. The biggest issue I have seen with coaches/trainers is that so many of them teach swinging down at the ball or swinging level…… yes you do swing down and then through the zone but a kid typically just pounds it straight into the ground….. My son’s issue is that he tries to swing level….. a pitch is traveling downward at an angle….. My son drops his hands to try to swing level at the pitch and if the pitcher is a fast pitcher he swings underneath it every single time.

I don’t teach launch angle bc I feel that teaches young kids to swing up at the ball…. I don’t even feel that launch angle is a real thing…. I just feel that people use it describe the proper bat path to move in and through the zone to barrel up the baseball… I have figured out how to increase my sons bat speed and it’s looking really good…. In the cage with tee work and soft toss…. He is absolutely smoking the baseball… When I switch over to pitching to him…. He goes back to the bad habit of dropping his hands.

Here is a list of all the collectives that have formed already. Hard to see how the NCAA can try to shut this down now when its already gotten this far.

If they investigate the other big schools, they'll have to investigate Bama as well. You're overestimating just how much pull Bama and Little Nicky have.

Their players have been driving around cars that cost as much as a small house. Nick's buddy that vacations with him has ran the NCAA for the last several years. They absolutely have turned a blind eye to what's been going on a Bama. Everyone with even a percentage of one brain cell knows what they get away with. They're not the only one either.

I clearly said the scream like a girl part. That's 100% accurate.

Nope, no screaming here. When you go swimming without the water wings, that's when the real screaming like a 12yo girl materializes.

Not to mention that the collectives did all of this legally, after studying the laws and implementing programs over a long period of time. They didn't just say "Oh, players can have money now? As of today? Here's all the money!" They worked meticulously to make sure that they were doing all of this by the board and protecting themselves, their organizations, the players, and the universities.

A lot of the pressure and buzz for curtailing NIL is coming from old guys that don't know anything about the legalities, and they are getting leaned on by leadership of these schools (who are getting whined to by coaches). They are doing their part to raise rabble on behalf of the universities and individuals that they are (and have been) aligned with for years. Every major program has guys in local, state, and sometimes federal govt looking out for their interests. This is the same thing that always happens. The only difference is, the collectives know what they are doing this time and the people complaining won't have a leg to stand on. Like others have said, the toothpaste is out of the tube.

What in the whole wide world?

I'm guessing this writer didn't do his homework and is just spouting his bias. The fact is Josh Heupel has been a head coach for 4 years and in that time the NFL has drafted 4 of his wide receivers on his watch and likely will be taking more in the drafts to come. smh.

Typical anti-Tennessee

 

[Neyland Law Vol]

On one hand, our collective is ahead of the game by having a good portion be crowd-funded rather than booster-funded. Unless they want to say the collective as an entity is a booster. I'm not sure how crowd-funding can skirt the rules vs booster-funding. Does that make every member of the crowd a booster? If Mayfield gives money to the university annually then signs John Fulkerson to a contract, is Mayfield as a company a booster and therefore can't participate in NIL? That seems to defeat the entire purpose of NIL, unless they want to crack down to where NIL can only be athletes selling their own merch and autographs and making public appearances.

The "we never let" boosters be involved before comment is hilarious. I know Butch players/recruits that used to get picked up in yachts in Nashville for a day on the water where they'd give them bags of cash. And I KNOW we aren't the only program that's been doing that stuff.

TN's new law states:

An athletic association’s governing actions, sanctions, bylaws, and rules must not interfere with an intercollegiate athlete’s ability to earn compensation and must not otherwise impact an intercollegiate athlete’s eligibility or full participation in intercollegiate athletic events, unless the intercollegiate athlete has committed a violation of the rules of an institution or an athletic association or this act is invalidated or rendered unenforceable by operation of law.

This could be argued to prohibit the NCAA from attempting to "interfere" with an athletes ability to earn compensation in the state of Tennessee. The last sentence is confusing though when it says "unless" the athlete has "committed a violation of the rules". So that may be what the NCAA points to for the argument they can still enforce their rules in TN.

Will be interesting how this plays out.

Correct me if I’m wrong but I think the single season record for home runs by a team is 188 by the 1997 LSU team. If that’s correct, that’s a lot of damn home runs.

You can say that again.

I could use the Powhatan Indian methods described by the men in Jamestown. Use mussel shells to remove each joint on each digit one at a time. Then use the shell to cut the skin from the face. Then slowly gut the victim (tied to a tree/pole) and leave those guts to hang exposed as they slowly succumb to infection and wild animals consuming their innards.

Man! That’s so sad sometimes we are pretty mean to each other. I doubt he was dwelling on that in his last moments though. Definitely gives you some perspective though, treat each other like it could be their last day.

Except mayonnaise eaters, they deserve the public chastising.

If he died, then I am really sorry he died, I don't wish that on anybody...but...that dude was nerve wracking and he wouldn't listen to anybody that tried to help him. He wasn't a mean spirited jackass, but he was extremely stubborn and it seemed he really started to enjoy doing things that got on the RFs nerves.

I hope he is alright.

Alabama has a collective, but according to @InVOLuntary there's will be the only one not investigated should the NCAA start looking into this...

Seriously, the NCAA doesn't want this headache.
